KISS's bishoujo game brand launched a crowdfunding campaign for Custom Romance City 3D3 on April 24, 2025. The campaign reached its 1 million yen goal within one to two minutes and surpassed 10 million yen in about 48 hours. At the time of an interview with producer Yamato, the total had exceeded 35 times the original target. The game is a new 3D title following the Custom Maid series, with a development period that began around 2020 and restarted about two and a half years ago.
Producer Yamato told Game Spark he expected the campaign to hit its goal on the first day but was surprised when it closed the 1 million yen target in one to two minutes. The response, he said, reflected the long exposure of the title and the accumulated goodwill of longtime fans of the Custom Maid series. The campaign's reward structure emphasizes tangible, experiential perks: supporters can appear as an NPC, leave a nameplate on a street, place a comment on a bench, or purchase building naming rights for 700,000 yen. Yamato noted that the reward design drew on lessons from a previous crowdfunding for Custom Maid Chronicle. The game itself, initially announced around early 2020 under the name CRC3D, was restarted as Custom Romance City 3D3 about two and a half years ago.
